VELLUM WORKSHOP

Hi

.

Here is one of my favourite cards from Saturdays Vellum Workshop at Bury St Edmunds. This was made using a Night of Navy base card, Sparkling roller #116444 with Bashful Blue ink, Season of Joy stamp set #110384 (my favourite and most versatile Christmas set) with Night of Navy ink, strips of torn Vellum Cardstock #109897, Dazzling Diamonds #110194, Clear Rhinestone Brads #113144, Large Oval #115156 and Scallop Oval #115429 punches.

It was wonderful to see new faces and to hear the positive messages that are advertising my classes & workshops. It is very important to book those monthly spaces early to avoid disappointment as spaces are limited and are being snapped up. I now have more people interested than there are spaces so it is important to book early.

.

From the lovely chatter round the room, it was evident we need to seriously review numbers for the next Stampers 10 group, agree which weekday evening in the month is convenient to everyone and that the hall is available. My Thetford group say that once a month for Stampers 10 is not enough and have booked some normal classes for the fortnight in between !! This would be in addition to the last Thursday evening in the month as this evening is for any topic/projects that we wish to use, not necessarily Stampin' Up!

When I arrived home from a very hot day, my hubby had bought an ice-cream maker, one that you leave in the freezer and then, when ready, churn the ingredients for 20 minutes. Well 20mins on the buzzer and we served up our homemade strawberry ice cream. No additives or other artificial ingredients ...... wonderful. Only trouble was it could have done with a few more minutes churning, chilled glasses in such hot temperatures and camera ready first as it melted very quickly !!! I did sneak a spoonful later from the freezer after it had firmed up. It also doubles up as an excellent wine cooler or ice bucket !!!!

This then reminded me about the card I entered for a Stampin' Up! competition last summer. There were two categories, once for customers and one for demonstrators. Even though I didn't win, I was very pleased with my entry using the Tart & Tangy stamp set #111514.

.

The next all day workshop in Bury St Edmunds in on Saturday 10th July and the theme is 'shaped cards'. This one will now be added and as always, all the templates we use will be given with your full colour instructions for the days projects.

One last thing ....

HOT TIP OF THE DAY - I was explaining how valuable 'Pringles' lids are and the many uses that crafters can make of them. Jennifer uses hers in the garden over her glass of wine to stop those annoying little flies getting in. It works a treat and they fit my wine glasses perfectly. Wonderful idea and thanks for sharing with us.

Hope you enjoyed todays updates and thanks for stopping by.
